The incomparable gypsy jazz clarinetist Dan Elias performs with guest musicians on the first Sunday of every month. This February, he brings his very own Swing Du Jour back to our stage, performing in the tradition of Django Reinhard—a jazz form that emanated from France and is often referred to as "Gypsy Jazz". With music that varies from lively to contemplative, Swing du Jour will surely have you tapping and swaying to their infectious sound. Feel free to listen or dance—or listen while you dance!
Tickets: $20 here or at the door.

Dan Elias
Daniel Elias has been playing the clarinet since its invention. A product of his surroundings, Daniel brings the streets of Brooklyn alive with his instrument. There is so much good music in the world that Daniel feels would benefit from the clarinet. In playing classical, Klezmer, Greek, Jazz and American Contradance music, this approach seems to work. The clarinet is not apparently suited for Grunge Music or Hurrian Hymns - so he will not be playing those. Daniel is pleased to continue his musical explorations at Ossining’s Hudson Valley Books for Humanity.
